his father but the boy was thrash

plausible the boy told everybody

Trapped by an Oeulist,

In large factory in which were sever
al hundred persons, one of the workm en-
in welding his hammer, carelessly al
lowed it to slip from his haEd. 1t few
half way across the room aud struck a
fellow workman in the left eye. The man
averred that his eye was blinded by the
blow, although q carful examination
failed to reveal any injury, there being
not a scratch visible, lie brought a suit
IN the courts for compensation for the
loss of half of mis- eyesight, and refused
all offers of compromise. Under the law,
the owner Of the factory was responsible
for an injury resulting from an accident
of this kind. The day of the trial ar
rived, and in open court an eminent ocul-
list retained by the defense examined the
alleged injured member, and gave it as
his opinion that it was a. good as the
right eye. Upon the plaintiffs loud pro
test OF his inability to see with his left
eye, the ocuhst proved him perjurer,
and satisfied the court and jury Of the
falsity of the claim. He did il simply BY
knowing that the colors green and red
combined make black. He prepared a
card on which few verbs we're written
with green ink. Then the plaintiff was
ordered to put on pair Of spectacles
with two different glasses, the one for the
right eye being red and the one for the
left eye consis,ing Of ordinary glass
Then the card was handed him and he
was ordered to read the writing on it,
This he did without hesitation, and the
cheat was at once exposed.
The sound right eye, fitted with red
glass, was unable to distinguish the green
writing on the black surface of the card
while the left eye which he pretedned
was sightless, was the one with which the
reading had 20 be done.

The Alabama Boom.

One North Carolina gentleman says
they asked him for some land four
miles from Birmingham 800 per
front foot for lots in the country and
in the forests distant from any house.
One d. d. McCraw, a son of Alvin
McCraw, of Cleveland comfy, went
to Birmingham poor and almost blind
bought many years ago sixty acres of
land for his home for fifty cents per
acre, or $50 for the tract. Last year
McCraw sold this same tract we are in
formed, for 100000. Another man
invested $400 years ago and now has
an offer of $17 900, which be refused.
Cranberry, with its magnetic iron ore
and neighboring coal fields, has, un-
der similar development, as grand
a future as Birmingham. It's ore Is
equal to the celebrated Swedish iron
and is superior to that found in Ala

consume a great deal of time but they
are not business, and it was hoped
that the useless custom would be alb
rogated before the end of this session.
The President acknowledges himself
very much worried over the selection
of suitable persons to serve on the In
ter-State Commerce Commission. He
says nothing has given him more con-
cern since he came into office, he is so
desirous that the members of The com
mission shall be practical men of af
fairs, and acceptable to the majority
of all parties concerned. 1t is stated
by Congressman who processes to
know that Col. Morrison has been of
fered his choice between the Chairman
ship Of the Commission and the Secre
taryship of the Treasury Department.
1t is understood that the President
will not appoint any member of either
the Senate or House who has been
elected to the Fiftieth Congress.
AS the session draws steadily to a
close it is feared nothing will be done
to change Inauguration day from the
4th of March to the Both of April.
Unless the proposed amendment to the
Constitution is submitted by this Con
gress, the change cannot be made in
'S9, and the next inaugural procession
along the grand Avenue will again
be compelled to face the pneumonia
breeding gales of March. There are
so many presidential aspirants in Con
eress who are interested on this sub
ject that it is to be hoped the matter
will be pushed through in the closing
hours of the session, when so many
schemes pass through with a rush
Almost everybody tavors the change
and no argument in its behalfis need
ed. A few minutes of action is al
that is necessary.
Much interest is felt to know what
the President will do with that disa
bility pension bill, or the pauper pen
sion bill, as it is called. Not that it i.
a bill for paupers, but a bill to make
paupers out of self supporting citizens
It was not supposed that the bill stood
any chance of passing not even by The
demagogues, claim agents and dead
beats who advocated it, but the dosper
alton OF the men who attitudinize a.
the soldiers champions was under
rated. They managed to pass this
one of the most reckless specimens o.
legislation ever presented in Congress
and thus throw upon Democratic
President the responsibility of stand
ing in its way.

back from every corner of the nation.
Returning to that remarkable pen
sion bill, which it is to be hoped the
President will veto, it may be we'll to
mention that under such a law the
pension roll would he more numerous
than the Union Army ever was. The
bill virtually pensions every man who
was in the Army, without regard to
ability or disability, wealth or poverty
and provides, as we'll tor the socalled
dependent parents of soldiers who died
1t provides a pension for every ex-
soldier who will say he cannot earn a
support.
And who is to define what a sup
port is? Some men require $500 a
year for support and others require
$4,000. AS there is no definite
meaning to the term support" what
is to prevent any man however ex-
travagant, from claiming that the s12
a month, in addition to his income, is
necessary to his support -?
The bill offers a premium to every
man who was in the Army to become
a loafer and depend upon the Govern
meht for support. Tens OF thousands

Never Snub a Newspaper Man,

A good natured newspaper report
er was at rustic picnic and rashly
spoke to a young lady without the
formality of an introduction. He
happened to see great fat caterpillar
crawling on her lace collar, and jump
ing toward her said:
Madam permit me to -
But the young lady waved him off
with an imperious and insulting ges-
ture and said: How dare you speak
to me without an introduction. You
are certainly no gentleman, sir!
Here the caterpillar overbalanced
itself and fell down her neck.
Youch! Oh! Oh! Take it off Oh
please, do take it off somebody! scream
ed the fair one. The newspaper man
was the only somebody around and
he said; I couldn't think of it madam;
I haven't been introduced to the cat
erpillar.

The Birmingham Fever.
From, the H-ades5oro -4rgus.


In the ordinary way the fever fol-
lows the chill, but in the case Of the
Birmingham malady, with which a
good many sanguine persons in North
Carolina are affected, the chill will
probably follow the fever. Fortunes
have unquestionably been made by
speculating in land at Birmingham,
and thereabouts, but prices are now
at high water mark and the oppor-
tunity for profit is not nearly as good
as it was. They who think of going
there, not for speculation, but for
hard and intelligent work, should look
carefully over the ground before they
make their move. Birmingham is not

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA
Feb. 14th-The Cigarette Beetle,
(Ldsiodernoa se7ricoc,ae,. Fab some
times proves very annoying to manu-
facturers and dealers in smoking to-
bacco and cigaretts. 1t is distributed
through all parts Of the world, and
feeds with avidity upon cayenne pep
per, spices and nearly all pungent
substances.
The larva feeds on the tobacco in
the Cigarettes, and when ready to
popogate cuts whole through the
paper wrapper as it escapes to find a
place to make its cocoon The first
annual generation, only, has at present
been determined. This is as follows !:
Beetles paired June $3.50. In from
2 to 3 days the eggs are deposited. In
II more the young larvas hatch. 60
or 70 days are consumed in the larval
growth when the cocoon is made and
5 to Z days more pass before the larva
transforms to the pupa. In week
to 10 days they transform to the
adult.
THE REMEDY.
Precautionary measures should be
relied upon. The steamingof the to
bacco should be thorough. A sub
stantial dryhouse seperate from the
factory, which can be kept tightly
closed at night is recommended.
Where trouble is apprehended quanti-
ties of cut tobacco should not be kept
on hand. During the season when
the beetle is flying about the room
each operator should be provided with
a neat and closely fitting box which
would hold approximately sufficient
tobacco for the days work. What re-
mains at the close of the day should
be securely closed in these boxes tc
to prevent the beetle laying the egg OIL
it during the night.
FOR STORING THE CIGARETTES,
boxes of convenient size, which shu
very closely, could be used, and thus
the dangers OF the beetle entering b.
averted. By ridding the fsctory o
infected stock, removing such materi
al as would alOrU DfeeulnS place
cleansing the walls and floor, by white
washing, and adopting some such pre-
cautions as recommended it is reason
able to suppose the pests could be con
trolled.
From the knowledge of the natura
histery of the beetle already determin
ed quite
AN IMPORTANT RESULT
, is reached. In case of goods manu-
} factured during the summer, if it
, feared the insect is present, they ma
j be stored for 40 days, when if no sign
= of the presence of the insect are d.
} tected, it would be safe to ship til
} goods. This would also afford pro
7 lection to the manufacturer. If th
| work of the beetle was not evider
! within 80 days from the time th
goods left the factory the manufactu1
a ers would be relieved of the respons
bility. PROF. GEO. F. ATKINSON.
